There are a lot of pain management techniques available. One of the treatments that have worked for many of our clients is using schedule two drugs.

What are Schedule Two Drugs?

Schedule two drugs are drugs that the FDA has identified as having a high potential for abuse. These drugs are currently used in the medical community and are accepted as having medical use by doctors within the United States. Most of these drugs are understood to be beneficial only when they are used with severe restriction. Schedule two drugs may lead to physiological or physical dependence.

Examples of Schedule Two Drugs

Opiates are a good example of a schedule two drug. When opiates are used in an appropriate way, they are very effective at removing or controlling many types of chronic pain. They are not as effective as other drugs when it comes to dealing with nerve pain, or, they are only effective when administered in high doses.

When the pain is constantly present all day and night, long acting opiates are recommended. When used appropriately, opiates will only produce mild side effects, one of which is constipation. However, in most cases constipation produced by opiates can be negated by increasing your water intake.

Another side effect of opiates is drowsiness, but as your body becomes accustomed to the medication, that side effect wanes. Opiates may cause nausea, but this is often fixed by changing the opiate you use.

Some of the most commonly used opiates include:

Codeine (only available in generic form)

Fentanyl (Actiq, Duragesic, Fentora)

Hydrocodone (Hysingla ER, Zohydro ER)

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Vicodin)

Hydromorphone (Dilaudid, Exalgo)

Meperidine (Demerol)

Methadone (Dolophine, Methadose)

Morphine (Astramorph, Avinza, Kadian, MS Contin, Ora-Morph SR)

Oxycodone (OxyContin, Oxecta, Roxicodone)

Oxycodone and acetaminophen (Percocet, Endocet, Roxicet)

Oxycodone and naloxone (Targiniq ER)

Does Using Schedule Two Drugs Automatically Lead to Addiction?

The answer is no. If you use schedule two drugs in the way that they have been prescribed by your physician, there is a very low risk of being addicted. Some individuals may be predisposed to addiction because of family history, genetics, or a psychiatric illness.

If you are taking a schedule two drug in the way that they have been prescribed by your physician, but your pain continues, it is not recommended that you increase the number of pills you take as this can lead to addiction. Additionally, long acting schedule two drugs should be taken whether or not you have pain.
